herbijudlestoids: im very rarely
a daytrader. i trade almost entirely EOD and dont like to keep turnover as low as possible for tax considerations
benkay: just
a month ago, bottomed out at like .69 iirc
herbijudlestoids: benkay: almost, the spike at 400 is
a crazy swing in price at the 400th tick in the timeseries
benkay: so the spike at 400 is
a crazy swing in price 400 ticks ago?
herbijudlestoids: "why not time normalised" because MPEX doesn't really seem to operate like
a regular exchange in terms of time and also there is not really enough trades happening in any given hour/4h/day block to make
a realistic OHLC bargraph
benkay: okay, so how do we get from that graph to "that vol spike would be very hard to handle as
a trade"?
benkay: would you be so kind as to explain
a little?
herbijudlestoids: benkay: that vol spike would be very hard to handle as
a trade
jayk: On November 22, 1987, an unidentified man wearing

a bit down the bottom where the guy says something about having 10 of them

a dead box hashing.
herbijudlestoids: specifically, last night i saw on ebay,
a prospero x-1 100GH/s for 650AUD when the BTC/AUD price was 780...
benkay: probably worn in harder than
a bike that's been to burning man 5 times with 3 different owners
herbijudlestoids: well i was just curious about your guys opinions, since its the first time iv ever seen
a mining rig for sale that was able to ROI since...since GPUs were the thing
benkay: well i'm intrigued to hear what you have to say but i suspect the long and the short of it is going to be 'unless you get the hardware or juice at
a discount the breakeven is never'
herbijudlestoids: i just developed
a piece of software in december and we are going to demo it to ...
a very large linux org next week, they are creaming their pants whenever our CEO mentions it
herbijudlestoids: that is the plan, weve had
a few buyout offers already but have to keep pushing them back as we grow
herbijudlestoids: well, apparently...basically i was just
a regular sysadmin who knew puppet, and one large org needed
a guy who knew puppet...i ended up deploying the pilot and first production phase
benkay: i'll grill you about your biz all night, friend. i just hit
a wall on this thing and ran out of brain at the exact same time.

benkay`: it's SO MUCH FUN to be technically correct in
a room full of hipsters, and similarly great fun to say it the way the rest of the world does in
a room of nerds.
Vexual: i say it with
a j out of respect for expert groups
benkay`: ;;later tell mircea_popescu now for
a tcp test harness. on one hand, 'yak shaving'. on the other hand, things worth doing are worth doing well.
Vexual: meowfung makes
a mighty fine yanmar approximation
punkman1: "He threatened to set off
a bomb with
a cellphone if his demands were not met, but the crew fooled him — and the other passengers — into thinking the plane had landed in Sochi when it was actually in Istanbu"
chipug: so many headlines re fancy opening for sochi and very few about the hijacker that tried to get
a plane to fly into it
duduqa: gotta have some sleep, guys, have
a nice weekend!
Namworld: The puts were sold into MPEx bids. Although the strikes were 4100-5000 USD per BTC, the price those PUTs were sold meant it was only at
a small loss at time of sale. So if prices went up, profits, if price went down, losses.
punkman1: Perlboy: might be
a good exercise to do the math yourself
Perlboy: hi mircea_popescu, has someone come in here and asked about the assbot big put contract flows

Plaxant: punkman1 my parents have
a shibu mix, it's
a pretty cool dog.
the20year2: we've raised enough money today to hold
a pretty serious party, like
a big bag of blow
chipug: ThickAsThieves: i prefer this to the other name.. i think it's nicer when there's
a meaning behind names for things.
ThickAsThieves: In Buddhism, alms or almsgiving is the respect given by
a lay Buddhist to
a Buddhist monk, nun, spiritually-developed person or other sentient being. It is not charity as presumed by Western interpreters. It is closer to
a symbolic connection to the spiritual realm and to show humbleness and respect in the presence of the secular society.
chipug: i'd be as well using
a calculator than this laptop mircea_popescu lol
chipug: it's
a real shame that just any one can have children

a small piece of understanding of this being part of the early community
chipug:
a lot of people still like to nod 'n' hand shake in person mircea_popescu
chipug:
a gathering as opposed to
a party then lol exciting all the same
mircea_popescu: b0n1 you don't have to anything. you've made
a claim as to having been an old timer. if you want that taken seriously you'll have to offer some corroboration.
Duffer1: just
a hypothesis that could explain both btc-tc and bitfunder closures
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 labcoin was
a scam, in which burnside participated, by faking volumes.
Duffer1: actm/labcoin trading was
a huge increase in trade volume, i'm assuming that would translate into increase revenues, but there is the idiocy factor
Duffer1: that's
a degree of idiocy i'm not willing to assign burnside lol
mircea_popescu: <b0n1> I am one of the early adopters as you all are, but 10 btc for
a meeting? << what have you done ?
mod6: oh, maybe Im wrong actually. i read it like
a year ago.
chipug: b0n1: it's not like that's the price of doing it yourself. that's the price of
a nice package with it
b0n1: I know that meeting people is important... and I also know that meeting important people is more important... but what the fuck should I think about
a 10btc meeting? Honestly, I dont understand it...

a lapdance for everybody taking part?

a meeting?
